Harm Reduction

Harm reduction is about keeping people safe, alive, and treated with dignity. The North Iowa Harm Reduction Coalition champions a realistic, compassionate approach to substance use. We meet people exactly where they are and support pathways to prevention, treatment, and recovery by letting individuals set their own health goals.

Those interested in joining the coalition or learning more can email our Disease Prevention Nurse, Sam Severson, by clicking the button below.

If you or someone you know is a person who injects drugs, we recommend you pick up a harm reduction kit from our offices.  Our harm reduction kits contain bleach, ibuprofen, gloves, and a wound care kit.

As part of this mission, CG Public Health provides free harm reduction kits. There is no cost, and we ask absolutely no questions.

Pick up a kit at our office Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM. Walk-ins are always welcome, or you can call ahead at 641-421-9300.
